Red Clay, the inaugural issue of RADAR, focuses on the American South, examining one of America's most unique, complicated regions. Each collection in the series brings together photographers whose individual photobooks combined take the reader on an exploration of a particular place, region or territory.

The 5 books of the artists, Nydia Blas, Tim Davis, Maury Gortemiller, Laura Noel, and Anderson Scott are joined by a chapbook of poetry by the Pulitzer Prize winning poet Forrest Gander. The artists and projects were selected with the guidance of Maury Gortemiller who served as the lead curator for the collection to insure both the range of vision about the south that Red Clay is seeking as well as a synergy between the artists and projects themselves.
